Consumer Reports' answer to high food prices - REVISION

UPDATE to BELOW:
I originally read this to mean that Consumer Reports was advocating pesticide consumption, but really what the article meant was "focus on the ones (organic vegetables) that are more likely to contain these chemicals had you decided to buy non-organic." So people aren't as crazy as previously thought (but still crazy).

"If you’re strapped for cash, ... [prioritize] your produce purchases. Skip the fruits and vegetables that tend to have little or no pesticide residue and focus on the ones that are more likely to contain these chemicals (pesticides)."

Are you sure you are reading that right? Seems to me that CR is saying that certain types of fruits and vegetables absorb more pesticides, and with a limited budget those are the ones to spend extra on to get organic.

I had to read it twice, but you are absolutely right I completely read that wrong. I guess people aren't THAT crazy.
